8:06 pm
reminds me of a lot of things that i've seen in some of the strike among men in latin america that we all fled from the attacks on the free press look at all the fake news the wanting to tear up the constitution and stay in power there's something about the strong man that appeals to our idiosyncrasy in some ways. >> and it's what we grew up with. men don't cry, men don't show softness, don't show compassion, don't show emotion. that's kind of ingrained into latins from the moment we're born. and i think they see that toughness and bravado and they equated to leadership in trump very vulnerable about being on camera without hair and makeup have you asked me what am i who am i? i would tell you i'm a hyphenated american i'm lucky rawan, american. i feel very

8:14 pm
republican party probably combined hibernating. we interviewed a gentleman named roberto escobar, who's farmer. he lives in a little community near roma, texas. let's go bodies his family is from that area for century and. >> as roberto vocal about his politics he's been vocal for awhile the bush family turned him into a republican years ago. he describes himself as a hispanic american but he doesn't have that identity that you and i kind of really speaks to how difficult it is to kind of pinpoint the latino vote and the. latino identity does this view get old for, you know, it's a beautiful view in it it never gets old right now. >> it's very quiet, calm it almost looks nice but at night, displaced comes alive and you
